ART HANDLING brings together a wide selection of Royal Stranger’s designs, which are seen
through the lens of an ambitious and unique premise - “a vision of what design
could be if it were art.” The concept is conducted through a thorough thematic
investigation exploring the fine, invisible lines separating such concepts - art & design – and their
contemporary condition; it is indefinitely suspended in a state of limbo, this Fine and Functional
Arts in-between.
Functional objects are thus elevated to the status of works of art, masterpieces even – Design equals
Art; they are in consonance. This juxtaposition of worlds is admittedly inspired by the remarkable
works of emblematic figures in Design.
ART HANDLING is visually translated into immersive installations comprehended in a seemingly
effortless atmosphere that resembles that of a museum warehouse. This backstage ambience captures
a fictional story of a place that is deeply imbued in real life events and memories.
Throughout the place, one can come across a cutting edge yet private vision of a project worthy of a
grand exposure: curtains shall be opened before a vast selection of unique furniture.
